Review: Huiji Waist Tonic Drink

For many years, I experience occasional back pain that caused me sleepless nights. The source of the pain is unknown but I suspect it could be due to prolong sleeping on a thinner mattress that was laid on the tiled floor since childhood.

When I was asked if I am keen to review Huiji Waist Tonic (滙集补腰精), I thought I could give it a try as Huiji is an established brand in Singapore.

Huiji Waist Tonic is made up of 100% natural premium herbs such as Radix Ginseng, Cordyceps, Sinensis, Du Zhong, Zhi He Shou Wu, Dang Gui and Dates. With no added sugar and alcohol, it is suitable for vegetarians as well. Huiji Waist Tonic is made in Singapore in a local "Good Manufacturing Practices certified factory. The key benefits include alleviating pain in the back and joins, nourishes the "yin" and blood and promote blood circulation, overcome fatigue, builds vitality and nourishes vital energy and relieves cold hands and feet.

September and October period are crazy and hectic months for a mother of two. With my boy preparing for his PSLE followed by my girl having her final year examinations, plus my strenuous work commitments on top of all the daily household chores, I began to wonder how I will manage to pull through!

I started taking Huiji Tonic Waist twice a day, 20ml each time to see if it will revitalize my energy. The effect was not visible at first but I continued to consume daily. After about 2 weeks, I noticed apart from not feeling as tired, my bowels seem to have improved too! Although there was no indication on the packaging, Dang Gui (a key ingredient within the tonic drink) probably helped to improve blood circulation, moisturize dryness and thus relaxes the bowels.

It has been a month since I have been consuming Huiji Waist Tonic Drink. To date, I do not have occurrence of back or joint pains. Taste wise it is pretty delectable. Unlike some herbal drinks, I do not find Huiji bitter. Instead, it soothes my throat and stomach when I take it in the morning and night. If you do not wish to consume the drink directly, you can also add it into dishes for a hearty, healthy meal. Check out Huiji's website for some of their featured recipes.

While individuals may have different experiences with Huiji Waist Tonic Drink, I am happy that my bowels have improved apart from not feeling as lethargic.
